Trevor’s new and very big paintings made me surprised. But, the way the paintings have “air” can go through around. The viewers are never overwhelmed by the paintings.
I can’t afford these paintings both size and price matter in my place to live. However, I saw a man who deeply considers buying or not buy one of his paintings. I thought he should buy one or two now because Trevor is one of the emerging artists.
Last year, one of Trevor’s paintings were in a group show. It’s medium size painting of his wife and baby. Looking at the painting made me warm. The painting was bought by one of the well-known artists. Trevor is an artist loved by artists.
Since ダン蔵 has his dental problem, it is challenging to cook anything he will be happy with. Linguini with Baby Clams is one of his favorite dishes from Fiat Cafe; however, it is difficult to chew clams to him right now. Sad. But, he likes the broth, he orders it and eats only the broth, and he eats clams as can as he eats.
I got a variety of can soup collections because he likes them. Emy’s and Progresso soup. Emy’s is better because it is organic. But, I hope he can eat my cooking.
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. But, for me and ダン蔵 had nothing special.
昨日はバレンタインデーだったけど、私とダン蔵の間には、特に素敵な事はなかった。
I gave this card to him. He dislikes kale.
私はこのカードを彼にあげた。彼はケールが嫌いなんだよ。
His dream is one day he will write a book called “Kale Nation”. His idea of the book is similar to the book, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus (1992) written by John Gray(born December 28, 1951) An American relationship counselor, lecturer, and author. ダン蔵 thinks men dislike Kale but women like kale. So, men and women are different. He talks about this Kale subject often but he never starts to write about it yet. And he said; I need a ghostwriter. ……. What!?
I cut my hair at New Ocean hair salon on Mott Street, NYC. This name reminds me of a tropical fish shop but it is a hair salon. I have been cut my hair this salon for about 10 years now. It’s very cheap. For my hair cut, only $20 and plus chip. My hairdresser Michael is Chinese and he can’t speak English very well. So, I speak to him Japanese… No. I’m not. haha, anyway, he doesn’t understand except Chinese. However, we know each other for 10 years, we don’t need to talk. I go there, I said hi to Michael, then sit down on his chair and he cut my hair. That’s all.
However, even I don’t much care about cool or not cool; I’m afraid of using chemicals with Chinese products. I need to hair dye. But, I can’t rely on using Chinese hair dye products with confidence.
Therefore, I went to a Japanese hair salon near my apartment last autumn. It was very expensive. It was nearly $300. Also, the hairdresser demand 20% of the chip. It was a great experience because the Japanese hairdresser was very kind, courteous and smile a lot. Very nice. However, $300 pulas 20% chip was painful. So, this time, I went to Paul Fox salon near my apartment. I new a person runs the salon. Because we both go to the same place for lunch and know each other face and we say hi for nearly 5 years. But, we never had a conversation. I summon up the courage and asked him may I make a reservation? He said sure.
Then, yesterday, I visited the salon and a young man dyed my hair. Of course, the price was much higher than the New Ocean but cheaper than a Japanese salon. Then, the young guy didn’t ask me for a chip. So, I asked Paul, How about the chip? Paul said it depend on the customer, we do not demand it. Also, my shop is cashless. If you want to pay a chip when you pay the cost you need to add it at the same time in the machine. You already finished the payment. You are all good.
Then he said actually if you really want to leave some money for him, we have these little envelopes. The envelope was a name card size. I used envelop. And I felt good. Also, I have to say that the young guy’s shampoo technic was super good.
I saw this dog. It sits in a big lorry. My street has a construction site, it has been doing nearly 3 years. Many trucks or lorries come to this site. But, this is the first time I saw a dog in a lorry.
It looked at me and yawned.
and then,
it tried to come to me. And then,
The owner of the dog closed the window.
It looks a little disappointed. And the owner opened the window again.
